Cerdanya (comarca)


Cerdanya is a comarca in northern Catalonia, in the Pyrenees, on the border of Catalonia with France and Andorra. Within Catalonia, Cerdanya is divided between Catalan provinces of Girona and Lleida. Cerdanya's neighbouring comarques are Alt Urgell, Berguedà, and Ripollès.
Cerdanya is in the "vegueria" of Alt Pirineu, according to "Vegueries of Catalonia law".
The area is sometimes called Baixa Cerdanya to distinguish it from Alta Cerdanya which was ceded to France by the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659.
Can be distinguished the "subcomarques" of la Batllia or petita Cerdanya, and el Baridà.
Llívia in Cerdanya is a Catalan exclave, completely surrounded by French territory.
